Im curious to know if anyone has ever activated the Windows Update on their WM5/6/6.1 phone and something actually downloaded?
Tried a couple times and got nothing
Not sure what it is for? It didn't work with WM5 either.
Same here, tried a few times but no updates came through, strange
Never got anything. 6+ trys over a year or so
there was a similar thread some weeks ago.
i think WM has a windows update function for distributin critical updates if someone writes a wm virus / worm / whatever that uses a bug in Windows Mobile.
Yea ive ben trying since feb this year and have never been able to get any sort of update, try like few times each month.....
so dont really know whats the point of it.
yha i found it funny to i i'm trying to update like for 2 years now but nothing
a while ago my phone went to htc
when i got it back there was a newer version on it with updates so i think that update is useless
Windows update
Updated from
Windows Media 6.0 to 6.1 and worked perfect.

this is not about loading a new rom on your phone. we're talking about the integrated windows update function in windows mobile
it has never provided an update, but all of sudden today, it's not getting a connection to the update server.... instead of saying no updates available...
I am not sure if this is a feature that will ever be enabled. When I worked for Sprint and Verizon there was discussion of FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates. The main issue that could cause serious problems if the persons phone should reset or lose power during that update. It would be nice if the mobile device center could keep track of your applications and available updates like the Apple I-Tunes. Has anyone every thought of that? I think it would be fun to hack WMDC.

I did a windows update and now my wizard wont pair any bt devices and alot of crazy stuff is hapenning. I cant change my Today screen sometimes i get calls and sometimes i dont. I dont get any messages now.
that sounds like a classic M$ windows update to me.. i would say everything is working fine
If its true what you say about the update why did you even try it or it did it automaticaly. but shogunmark is right sound like microsoft. LOL
Update: Sorry i thought that it was a wm6 update but still thats m$ doing
Windows Update Concern
I connected to windowsupdate while I had WM6 installed. Was I the only one who worried that M$ would come and get me because I was connecting to the site with a not yet released rom?
im just trying things out
did u actually install an update from windows update or just did a check
people tried calling me today and the phone didn't even ring.
I tested this once by calling myself, I had to turn the phone from standby for it to ring. Very wierd.. I am confused because I really like crossbow but the radio on it sucks right now.
Not sure which version I should rollback to

Threre is no radio on the WWE crossbow that you installed. It still has the old radio that you had before the WM6 ROM install.
As far as I know, there isn't any updates available to WM6 at this time.
I have tried to check for updates a couple of times, but no available updates.
ABOUT THE WINDOWS MARKETPLACE: I mailed and asked for an demo-account.
I then got an answer (froma nice lady) that said that access to this demo account was strictly for the MS developmenet team. And she asked me to accept her appologies.
I then replied that i fully understood this, bearing in mind that thie WM6 ROM isn't released yet, and that im in possesion of a pirated WM6 ROM.
That didnt conscern her at all. She asked me what I thought of the ROM, and if I had any pro's and con's.
So were not able to use marketplace as of now. :-(

Do you know why she did not care, cus windows does not have a WM6 beta testing so the only way that it can work correct it to 'leak' it and let poeple like faria sort it out for them!!! Show where it can be made better! With out them windows would not be able to do anything!
Lol... ive thought the same thing for years now. Its funny how we all want windows products, but the first thing we do is tear them apart and tweak them. I think microsoft might let it leak out on purpose. This makes most of the blame not thier fault (the leak is like an alpha) and it lets ppl find bugs and fix problems in thier software that they can easily fix later. Faria and molski and the others are nothing more then unpaid microsoft employees (we should do something about the unpaid part )

I think its more like this.. We are able to see the potential in a decent product and work in our spare times to make it more functional despite some of the M$ bugs found along the way.. But we all work together as a community. If you want to donate i would consider donating to the board first, this is where we all come together to make things happen, there is alot of work that goes in to them besides the person who puts it out there
Update
It is microsofts policy not to collect any personal information when your device connects to windows update. You won't be caught but who knows.... They might launch an update to mess your phone up before release... As for the updates there arn't any it's still in development. I would tend to agree about the radio rom

Then its a problem with crossbow, the phone doesn't turn on by itself when the caller hears it dial.
Ok; So I notice that many versions of windows on the ATT Tilt have a "windows update" button. I know that this is a newer concept used with wm6.1 but is it even worth it to have it in the rom or is it just an idea that has been implimented but will not be utalized for a while? I know some cellular companies were going to try FOTA (Firmware Over The Air) updates but the main concern has always been about the customet toasting the device with a FOTA update that goes wrong.... Any ideas anyone?
as far as i know no device ever had a working win update on them
ms never implemented the server feature in their end
You should be posting your tilt questions on the kaiser forum!
I thought about putting this in the kaiser forum but to my knowledge other phones and wm6 versions have the windows update. That is why I posted here. I was hoping someone with a different device and rom may have some input. I could have fixed the title of the thread a littl better I suppose...
I know that I have it on my HTC TyTN II (non-original ROM), and that it doesn't work.
it works actually just never updates nor installs anything,must be synced to a dummy server

Microsoft put it in so they have the ability to update. They haven't used it yet but they might in the future.
when i first got my tilt i ran it out of curiosity and if i remember correctly, it found the windows mobile green theme file as an update to wm6 so there has been at least 1 update pushed out through this server that is IF my memory serves me correctly.

Ummm this is the Kaiser forum isn't it
i have only used the feature once and i see no use in it what do ever. i have only seen it being used to update the windows live program and that was the only time i saw it used. other then that i have never seen it being used for anything else.
Hello again, I have this big problem with my Kaiser :
since I installed the last HTC 6.1 ROM update, my device randomly freezes for 10-20 seconds.
I also noticed that my devices sometimes slow down ...
Does anyone else have this problem ?
The solution : Downgrade to WM6 !
I think I've found where the problem is :
since I stopped using "Quick Menu", the Kaiser does not freeze anymore ...
That means this is another usefull application I will have to stop using with the HTC 6.1 ROM !!!
Sorry but I don't know what is Quick menu...

If you don't know it, that means you didn't install it on your Kaiser. So your freeze problems were not coming from this application. Sorry ...
The biggest bug i've been with wm6.1 : my kaiser soft reset alone all the time ! Maybe they're drunk when they're built this rom lol ! They should have write : THE MAGIC FUNNY WM6.1 RELEASE WITH GHOST TOUCH !
I disabled Weather tab and contacts tab with HTC home customizer. It seems to work well now. I will see if problem has really gone. Thank you for your help Dizzy. You gave a direction to my searchs
You're welcome ... But I use HTC home mainly for its contact and weather application ... So it's not a solution for me.
I noticed that orange france users had problems. Perhaps it is linked with our SIM CARD...
do you really need to post two threads on this?
I thought about using HTC's rom, but instead, i used dutty's lite rom, and built it up myself with what i wanted. Its a hell of a,lot faster, i wouldnt touch another oem htc rom ever again, they are full of rubbish, and slow as my old wizard
Finally I discovered that the problem didn't come from "Quick Menu", but from "HTC home" !!!!!
HTC home does slown down my Kaiser and is responsible for randoms freezes of it !
If I disable "HTC home" on the today setup screen, then everything is faster (start menu display ...).
I re-installed Quick-menu and now my Kaiser is working fine.
I will have to replace HTC home by a clone application ...
I haven't had any issues with my Kaiser freezing with the 3.28.405.0 WWE ROM, but then I haven't used ROM that was oficially released by HTC. Instead I've been using the one that was leaked out a couple of days before the official release.
Is it possible that the official ROM image is corrupted in some way? I've noticed this post over in the Kaiser ROM Development forum, which was posted today:

Called HTC today.
I'm not the only one having trouble with 6.1. They said in the next two days there will be a "new" version available.
The file we could download now is corrupt and they will upload a non corrupt version. Supposedly the file was corrupt by uploading to ftp server
I think they will release a patched version.

I've installed the official (English) rom I got from someone in the UK (there is none for TYTN II from Hong Kong being used in the USA as of yet ) and loved the idea that all I had to do is just install ( No hard SPL ) and everything seems fine. I have a lot of apps. installed and everything is fine.
I upgraded to the leaked ROM and have had nothing but Freezing problems !!
I turned off HTC home and this seemed to do the job...for about 12 hours and then wouldnt you know it, its slow again.
I did a hard reset and turned everything off, used Kaiser tweaks to change the cache options and its still not right.
I feel badly let down by this product. I upgraded from a blackberry 8800 which ran like a dream, no problems. I've always been alittle sceptical about Windows Mobile Products. I've owned many PDAs in the past and have always felt that they were always compromised. My Dell Axim X51v was a good PDA but too bulky to carry around. I've always been someone who wasnt bothered by Windows Mobile Devices because of their windows hang ups. Seems I was proved right, though I know this isnt necessarily a Windows thing, more likely a HTC thing....it still doesnt help !
I needed a product that offered, office apps, with internet and the ability to FTP easily at high speeds either over WiFi or 3g. The Vario III had the lot including imense flexability which made me give up my Blackberry (which was a big thing, trust me as I adored my blackberry,,,it was just alittle limited).
After having purchased HTC's almost flagship model I've feel totally let down, they knowingly shipped a product that was flawed and then released a dodgy fix that affectively made the device worse (for some of us!). Freezing all the time. When it wasnt freezing it was a pleasure to use...but seriously, i'm 5 weeks into using it and I'm absolutely pee'd off. I seem to be constantly looking for fixes all the time !! my wife thinks I've become bloody addicted to it, she wont listen when i tell her I'm trying to fix it. it always seems to be in my hand !! (the kaiser that is )
That blackberry of mine is going to be taken out of the box and this paper weight will be used as just that.
gutted man

You need to remove the HardSPL application from your Kaiser in order to stop the freezes ... Take a look at this thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394783
It works ... Guaranteed !
Yes, the HardSPL is your problem, not HTC.
I tried the official htc e-club 6.1 and had lots of freezing issues. It would just freez for 20 seconds or so then start working again. Drove me crazy. I off-loaded it and re-loaded dutty's 6.1 hybrid and am very happy with it. Very stable, no more freezes either. I also reloaded mobile shell and found it to work much better than with the old 6.0. The memory issues, leaks etc. I had with shell on 6.0 seem to have become almost non-existant with this rom. And did I say batt life is heaven . I'm stickin' with what works for now.
I have the problem that Activesync is automatically turned on when I start the phone and it makes alot of problems but when I turn it off it usually solves it - anyone know how to fix this?

I have the e-club 6.1 and am experiencing the same freezes. Really annoying. I think there is a pattern that when I turn off the phone, the freezes go away.

I had a similar issue where Activesync would start running on my phone every so many minutes, when looking in the task manager it would be running. I fixed that by running task manager v2.8 from Fdcsoft you can download it from here http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm with that go to notification and disable replog.exe (AppRunAfterTimeChange). This does not affect active sync working when connecting to a pc or with push email.
Well, I upgraded my poor quality AT&T phone yesterday for a tilt. Took about 5 minutes of ownership when someone sent me to this site. I upgraded my software to mobile 6.1 after seeing the differences.
At first I had problems, the software I downloaded from the HTC webiste kept failing in windows xp. I don't know why. When I tried to install the hard SPL, I got the "white screen of death". The JumpSPL program worked, but I wasn't quite sure what that did... Eventually I restarted my computer and booted into my Vista (ick) install, and amazingly the HTC software finally stopped failing and upgraded the phone.
Very nice features, I like it a lot. This site was incredibly helpful. Thanks to all you programming gurus.
Oh also, what is the "radio version" stuff?
Check here.
So I've owned a bagfull of WM devices...
I've never actually seen a windows update on any of my phones, however I can always run it and it completes fine...
However on the Xperia (no matter what firmware), it can never connect and check?
What's up with that! lol
I've had the same exact experience.
No updates on any device and no connect on X1.
No clue.
me too but then I've yet to have a confirmed incident of anybody ever get anything from it
think it was something ms never rolled out in their end of win update
maybe some day they will
i used to gte windows updates on my xperia of course i never actually got anything but back at the start of the yr when i got my xperia it used to complete fine. now for some reason it does not :S who knows.
RIP to my xperia that is in pieces n in need of new parts thanks to the faulty display cable that ****s up n gets scratched to pieces
not sure maybe the problem is in ms's end
if other wm devices get it too
not that I see it as a problem as it never give any updates
